Academic Pride
The University of Maryland is thrilled to announce the creation
of our new Honors College. Building on the successes of our
current honors program, the Honors College will provide enhanced
opportunities and serve as the newest home for our most
exceptional students. Learn more about the Honors
College as well as our highly acclaimed College Park
Scholars and other living and learning programs.
The University of Maryland boasts 71 academic programs ranked in the top 25 nationally and 30 academic programs in the top 10 according to U.S. News and World report. By drawing top-notch faculty, attracting the brightest students and investing in the quality of our academic programs, we are a force to reckon with on a national basis.
Maryland has eleven colleges and schools and Letters and Sciences. As a new student, you'll first find an academic home in your college or school and, from there, your major. Letters and Sciences provides advising for students who are still undecided about their major. Maryland also offers ways to make connections across disciplines, through our special academic programs, certificate programs and academic resources.
